The deputy, part of a motorcycle unit, was wearing a bullet-resistant vest and was stable when taken to a hospital, authorities said.
Authorities continued searching Monday night for a suspect who shot a Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy in the back at a stoplight near the 10 Freeway in West Covina. Deputy Samuel Aispuro, 43, was shot once in the back at about 2:45 p.m. while stopped at a red light on a department-issued motorcycle at Barranca Street and East Garvey Avenue, L.A. County Sheriff Robert Luna said at a news conference.
The search led to a house in La Puente, where several people were detained but not arrested, and ultimately released, Luna said. Luna described the deputy as a married father of two. The investigation into the shooting is ongoing. Luna said the department has not determined how many shots were fired. The intersection where the shooting occurred will remain closed until the scene is processed. The deputy worked out of the Century station in Lynwood and was in West Covina for training, L.A.
